Nypg virus has locked all your files? See how to get rid of Nypg ransomware virus by following the instructions provided at the bottom of this article.
Nypg Virus
Nypg virus is malicious software that infects computers and encrypts personal files. The virus belongs to the so-called STOP ransomware family. Similar to previous strains it encodes files so that the victim has no access to them. System files are working properly as the system needs to continue functioning without any interruptions. One of the main reasons for this is the ransom note, Nypg virus needs to load at the end of the attack.
Unfortunately, free decryption for newly-existing STOP variants is hard to be accomplished. If security experts find flaws in the code of the ransomware virus, a free decryptor will be released in the wild. So back up your encoded .nypg files and keep them on an external drive.

What Does Nypg Ransomware Do?
Nypg ransomware performs malicious activities in order to reach an encryption stage. During this stage, the threat searches for files that are likely to store valuable information. When the ransomware detects a target file, it locks it by using a military-grade encryption algorithm. The infected computer could be sluggish during encryption.
At last the ransomware places a file with a ransom message that links to a payment page. Infected files will appear with the .nypg extension.
Why All My Files End With .nypg ?
Locked files will get the .nypg extension and become encrypted. Documents, banking details, audio and video files, and even archives could be encrypted. Cybercriminals who are behind STOP ransomware virus attacks want a large sum of cryptocurrency money for the decryption tool. However, recovering encrypted .nypg files is not guaranteed.

How to Remove Nypg Virus from Windows.
Step 1: Boot Your PC In Safe Mode to isolate and remove Nypg Virus
Step 2: Uninstall Nypg Virus and related software from Windows
Here is a method in few easy steps that should be able to uninstall most programs. No matter if you are using Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista or XP, those steps will get the job done. Dragging the program or its folder to the recycle bin can be a very bad decision. If you do that, bits and pieces of the program are left behind, and that can lead to unstable work of your PC, errors with the file type associations and other unpleasant activities. The proper way to get a program off your computer is to Uninstall it. To do that:
Follow the instructions above and you will successfully uninstall most programs.
Step 3: Clean any registries, created by Nypg Virus on your computer.
The usually targeted registries of Windows machines are the following:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
You can access them by opening the Windows registry editor and deleting any values, created by Nypg Virus there. This can happen by following the steps underneath:
Tip: To find a virus-created value, you can right-click on it and click "Modify" to see which file it is set to run. If this is the virus file location, remove the value.
Before starting "Step 4", please boot back into Normal mode, in case you are currently in Safe Mode.
This will enable you to install and use SpyHunter 5 successfully.
